Heavy rounded capitals with soft block bodies and a tiny compact R opening
Hit and Run
Hit and Run tilts orange uppercase words across turquoise, where thick soft-edged H and I stems sit beside a broad T crossbar and the R carries a small rounded counter with a substantial leg, while motion marks and smiling faces fill the cover around the words.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Hit and Run.
The stems stay thick, the edges soften, the crossbars run broad and one counter closes small. That tiny opening is the character: a friendly heavy sans gains one tight detail, which is why the sample tilts the rows across the page. The diagonal placement, marks and faces are cover graphics rather than font features, so check the actual upright set, confirm lowercase and punctuation are present and keep 36 pt before the R counter closes. The compact R opening is the risk: it plugs at about 24 pt and the letter then reads as a P, so keep 36 pt and check a word with R, B and P before committing the artwork.

Sign for a burger van
The heavy rounds read across a forecourt, and the broad crossbars hold a two-word name at 52 mm on a painted panel, where the soft edges keep the tone friendly.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 500 by 250 mm panel: set the van name at 52 mm on one row, keep 22 mm of clear ground beneath before the prices at 14 pt, and keep 24 mm of border so the soft flanks are not cut.
Pre-production check
The tilted treatment has to be added in layout; check the file before promising a slanted version.
Card for a cheerful birthday
The soft blocks suit a bright card, and the thick strokes hold a name at 32 pt on an A6 sheet, where the tiny R counter still reads at small size.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A6 card: set the name at 32 pt on one row, keep 16 mm of clear ground beneath before the date at 11 pt, and keep the card pale so the saturated letters stay legible.
Pre-production check
The small R opening fills under 20 pt; check the card proof and hold the name at 26 pt or above.
Poster for a sports day
The heavy caps carry a poster headline, and the broad forms hold a two-word title at 54 pt on an A3 sheet, where the soft edges stay clear from across a field.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A3 poster: set the title at 54 pt on one row, keep 22 mm of clear ground beneath before the times at 14 pt, and keep the motion marks to one corner so the type stays readable.
Pre-production check
Lowercase may not be in the file; check the character set before writing a mixed-case line.

Pilova
Pilova is a bold display sans in yellow on near-black: very wide rounded letters with almost circular counters, a short waist, and a dot on the i that sits clear of the stem, presented with small technical notes in the corners, so the plate reads as a contemporary display release.
